NARS Yachiyo Brush 27 Review

After years of using the perfect multi-functional NARS Yachiyo Brush I've finally decided to review it. Sadly, it looks like the infamous, highly rated brush is now out of stock at NARS.com and Sephora, although, I did find it available online by the Canadian retailer, The Bay, where I have originally purchased it for $73+!

So what's so good about it? The NARS Yachiyo brush's modern concept and function unites traditional Japanese culture, creating unique and versatile design. Featuring super black goat hair, known for its softness and strength, this Kabuki Artisan brush is designed for a variety of uses including color application, blending, contouring and highlighting. Super black goat hair is ideal for blending pigments.PROS:

Easy to use

Gorgeous packaging and design

Well-made and well-crafted

Multi-functional and versatile - it's great for contouring and highlighting

Bendy and spring-like feel and diffusing pointy end designed for a perfect application

Made for use with very pigmented powder blushes such as NARS Exhibit A

Perfect for cheeks and face blush/bronzer application

Made with very soft Pen Super Goat hairs, which are ideal for blending pigments

The hand-spun black wisteria handle preserves its unique traditional character

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by MakeupAlley.com members

CONS:

Very expensive

Hard to find

Slight hair fall out

Despite the price tag, I highly recommend investing in this brush. It lasted me many years, and it can do much more than a typical blush brush. Think of it as a 5-in-1 tool!

I'm obsessed with getting my hands on one of these, but I can't find it at Sephora! I think I might just end up purchasing from the retailer you mentioned. Just discovered your blog, you're absolutely stunning!! I can't believe I just found your site now, love the layout and your blogging style.
